Cool Kitchen Drawers: Martha’s Insane Organization

Over at The Kitchn, they’re in the midst of their annual Fall Cure. A whirlwind four weeks of cleaning, organizing and improving that I’ve never actually participated in, but like to watch the progress of just the same. Yesterday, an inspirational gallery of Martha Stewart’s Kitchen Cupboards was posted, and I was blown away. Forget these as actual images of kitchen drawers (this is a styled shoot, people- I doubt even Martha keeps her Tylenol in a small ceramic bowl), but just as art, these are gorgeous:

Today’s “find” was actually discovered via a post on Decor8 earlier this week. A spread on tarts in the latest issue of Martha Stewart Living caught Holly’s eye, thanks to the gorgeous and highly unusual styling. Created by Japanese-born and San Francisco-based artist Miyuki Sakai, those “plates” are actually hand-made illustrations. Created with a sewing machine and thread. Can you even believe that? As a food lover and keen sewer, I’m all over this idea:

Miyuki has some lovely work in her portfolio, too. I’m loving all these gorgeous “drawings” of produce, treats and beautifully laid tables:

And with that, I’ll leave you to enjoy your weekend. Happy Friday!

Cool Kitchen: Martha’s Cantitoe Corners

I know Martha isn’t the first person who comes to mind when you think “cool”, but stay with me. The Kitchn‘s post on grey kitchens earlier this month had me thinking about this versatile shade, and I think few do it better than Martha did at her Cantitoe Corners farm in Bedford, NY.

I think the warm shade she chose works especially well, as do all the accents of white, beige and stainless steel. The immaculate open shelving doesn’t hurt, either.
